Mega-Mania - Summer Of '69 (Picco, Jens O. & Maddin Original Mix) lyrics

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
I should have known we'd never get far

Oh, when I look back now
The summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you've got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah

Oh, when I look back now
The summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you've got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah

Standing on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Oh, yeah!
